We&#8217;ve got the details on where to picnic in Vancouver<\/h2>\n<p>We love grabbing a baguette, some cheese and pate or perhaps some leftover BBQ chicken and heading out to eat outdoors. Our summer sunshine is limited, so when the sun is out we celebrate while we can. I teamed up with Expedia.ca to bring you a few places we love to dine el fresco.<\/p>\n<p><strong>English Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are into people watching, this is the spot for you. While it\u2019s often crowded, there is almost always a spot for a blanket or two, and if you didn\u2019t pack something from home, there are plenty of restaurants offering take-out. Views are stunning, boats float by and joggers pass along the seawall. Be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.ca\/English-Bay-Inukshuk-Vancouver.d6155911.Vacation-Attraction\">check out the Inukshuks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chaldecott Park<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wikimapia.org\/105019\/Chaldecott-Park\"><br \/>\n<\/a>Over on the west side of Vancouver at 4175 Wallace Street at Dunbar you\u2019ll find Chaldecott Park. This is a great spot to bring little kids and splash through the water park, but big ones can escape the noise at one of the park\u2019s picnic tables as well. Huge cedar trees provide shelter and there\u2019s baseball diamonds should you need to bring the whole team.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"34869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/where-to-picnic-in-vancouver\/picnic-in-vancouver-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picnic-in-Vancouver-2.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,427\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"picnic in vancouver 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picnic-in-Vancouver-2.jpg?fit=640%2C427&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34869\" title=\"picnic in vancouver 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picnic-in-Vancouver-2.jpg?resize=640%2C427\" alt=\"picnic in vancouver 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picnic-in-Vancouver-2.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Picnic-in-Vancouver-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vancouver.ca\/parks-recreation-culture\/queen-elizabeth-park.aspx\"><strong>Queen Elizabeth Park<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>Enjoy the sunset in central Vancouver at Q.E.
